Nearly spat out my coffee!

Yes! Is arrived. Money well spent. Thanks Internet.

The astonishingly beautiful N64 Yoshi’s Story packaging. The game was a bit ‘odd’, and art direction a bit ‘dated’, but the no knocking of this box art. Lovely.

This is great! Like a Ridge Racer fever dream.

If there was ever a platform that was perfect for Elite.. then surely THIS is it! Right on commander! 🫡

Transformers - robots in disguise! Had to have the case - a complete impulse purchase. Matches the real thing perfectly.

My Patreon's now have access to the first )of many I hope), programming diary of a new game port to the #ZXSpectrumNext - Millie And Molly. Enjoy! www.patreon.com/posts/millie...

Awww humbled

Xbox 360 is now 20 years old (November 22, 2005)

You - yes, you - can play real arcade games at home! Let me walk you through the basics, and hopefully turn something that sounds scary and strange into just another way to experience some incredible games: kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2022/08/05/t...

Dom and his gang did lovely work on our game. We were delighted with the cover art, promo art, logo and copy.

Sometimes as a writer it is important to really test yourself - to take risks, to break out of your comfort zone and do something radically new. With this in mind, I have written a nostalgic article about a Sega game www.theguardian.com/games/2025/o...

Atari ST alert #totp

The Japanese Mario 64 official strategy guide is an incredible thing. "Can we make little hand-made dioramas of all the levels?" "Sure, why the hell not."

Me and my sky Bubble

Getting ready for the Software Creations reunion this weekend.

Well the good news is my game Millie & Molly works on the #Switch2. I expect a massive uplift in sales with people hoping to push their new hardware to the limits ;) And it’s on sale for less than £2 from the shop courtesy of @thalamusdigital.bsky.social

I'm running the Manchester 10K next weekend. It's for a good cause - Pancreatic Cancer UK. My mate Geoff Follin was diagnosed with it this time last year, and it took him by the end of the same month. Please sponsor me. Even a £2 donation will make a difference. Proceeds go straight to the charity.

Repost with something that you own that most people don’t. Silicon Graphics Indigo2, cost more than my house when release. I picked it up for £30.

One of the first games I worked on (as QA) “reimagined”. A phrase that’s doing some heavy-lifting here.

I’m running the Manchester 10K in a couple of months to raise funds for Pancreatic Cancer UK in memory of my good friend Geoff Follin. Please read my story and support me if you can. Even £2 donated will make a difference, and proceeds go straight to the charity.

Pixel work on Sega systems back in the 80s/90s sega Digitizer System🎨🕹️

Glad I was only a humble QA when working on this. It also makes me feel blessed that I’ve not had to work with a traditional publisher for over 10 years. God bless our backers.

We used this exact model to help develop Taz Express, along with SN systems development kits for the programmers (me)

Games completed, 2024 edition: ✅ Mario Wonder ✅ Axiom Verge 2 ✅ Metroid Dread ✅ Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze ✅ Animal Well ✅ Halo CE ✅ Mario 64 ✅ Pikmin 4 ✅ Zelda: EoW ✅ Mario 3D World (yet again) ✅ Mario Galaxy (also again) ✅ Shovel Knight ✅ Guacamelee 2 Definitely a theme going on here.

handedness can be a little hard to wrap your head around - it's a very elusive concept as it's mostly perceptual/visual rather than being a property of the numbers/math itself notably though, you can use it to figure out positive rotation directions, given an arbitrary axis!

here, have a coordinate system chart~

A great line in the excellent Guacamelee 2. If I was drinking tea, I would have spat it out.

A natural progression!

I’ve always liked the Japanese covers to our games.

Got to be. Every time. The acting thing is it’ll be in my head all week now.

picoCAD has been out for 4 days on Steam and made some sales! I did a lengthy write up with detailed wishlist and sales data: https://buff.ly/41dmK5T #gamedev

The superb #PSP was released 20 years ago today. Sadly, the game I was writing to coincide with that release, never made it (as the company was acquired by Gizmondo, but that’s another story). Just another ‘might have been’ story from the game industry vaults.

Symphony or Memories? Which shall it be?

Went to the local newsagents and got lucky, twice, this morning. I can’t even remember what I went in for.

I long to type like this. My typing skills were once correctly described by @stepickford.bsky.social as “very quick at typing but mostly on the wrong keys”.

That cancelled TV show you’ll never stop thinking about? C’mon BBC, we want more!

1/3 🧵 Watching the #halflife2 documentary: youtu.be/YCjNT9qGjh4?.... Recalling the first time I played HL2, I was Warthog Games working on a game for PlayStation Portable (prior to release). This became unsustainable when they sold the company to the doomed Gizmondo.
